Hi everyone, I am just about to dive in to the world of Polk Audio Speakers. I am sold on everything but the color. Does anyone have any REAL pictures of the Monitor 30's and the Center CS1 in cherry? I am trying my best to match it with the other cherry furniture in the house! Thanks for all of your help. This will be a deal breaker for me, if not I'll have to just get it in black.

Once more, thanks!

    Welcome to Club Polk.

    Are you saying that the Polk pictures in the recent and vintage (menu) above are not 'accurate' because they seem pretty close to the actual coloring...it's a light cherry not the dark wood that populates my HT room. I have the M-series in Black so no personal pictures available. But I've seen them and the Polk pictures are pretty spot on!

    Thanks, maybe I should clarify. I wanted pictures of them setup in people houses. I apologize for any confusion. I saw the stock pictures on the web already (the same one you are showing me). Just wanted to see how they looked in real life setup. Stores in my area don't carry them in cherry. Thanks for all of your help. (except for the fruit pictures)

    Cherry wood is quite photosensitive and darkens with age. The look is prized by antique collectors. Try leaving a piece in a sunny window with a coaster on it; you will end up with a light area under the coaster (not so prized). So if your cherry veneer doesn't match out of the box, give it some time.

    I used to have the TSi300's, which have the same faux cherry finish as the Monitor line. As you can see in the picture, they don't have the luster of real cherry wood, but they do match nicely. Depending on your decor, the polk cherry finishes really can look like a piece of furniture rather than a piece of audio equipment. The RTi series uses real cherry wood that blends more naturally with furniture.
